First Solar has signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia’s PT. Pembangkitan Jawa Bali Services (PJB Services) to work on the development of utility-scale photovoltaic projects in Indonesia.
The agreement between the two parties is said to represent the first step in a collaboration, which aims to establish a 100 MW photovoltaic pipeline in the country, “including PV hybrid solutions”. The partnership will entail development, EPC, and operation and maintenance services.
“Indonesia has an increasingly urgent need for reliable, cost-effective energy resources. The agreement with PJB Services facilitates an ideal collaboration to provide Indonesia with the needed solution,” said Won Park, First Solar’s Senior Manager of Business Development and Sales in Southeast Asia. “This MOU underscores First Solar’s belief that the Indonesian market has great potential as a sustainable market where solar power can be a meaningful part of the energy mix.”
